Question

A picture measuring 2.5" high by 6" wide is to be enlarged so that the width is now 18 inches. How tall will the picture be?

Answer 1

7.5
2.5 to 6 so if 6 is raised to 18 thats times 3 so just times 2.5 by 3 and you would 7.5

Answer 2

Let t = height of picture

2.5" long/6" wide = t/18 " wide

6t = 18*2.5

6t = 45

t = 45/6

t = 7.5 inches
